How to Succeed on Twitter - Part 1
Update constantly – This means all day, every day.
Make sure to not let an hour go by without updating your followers on what you are doing. People love to know every detail of your life no matter how small. It really is the little things in life that matter. This is why you shouldn’t neglect to tell your followers each and every time you stand up, sit down, or even every breath you take.
Example:
I’m breathing. I just sat up. I just sat down. Just took another breathe. Good day so far. Another breath.
Make sure to not have a real picture of yourself – Secrecy is key.
This will enhance the opinion your follows will have of you. It will make you appear to be more mysterious – everyone loves a good mystery. It’s important to not let people know who you really are. If they see your real picture they could potentially steal your identify, social security number, and even your future daughter’s middle name that the Twitter quiz you just took revealed.
How to:
The best way to do this is to go to Google and type in Girl. The first picture you come across will be adequate. Right click save image and you’re on your way to having an image your friends will envy.
Harass your followers ALL DAY – everyone loves attention.
Respond to each and every post and make sure to take up all 140 characters and more. Did you know that you’re allowed to post more than one tweet in a row to the same person? Take advantage of this! Whoever you are @ replying to will appreciate your efforts and each extra tweet shows them how much you really care!
Example: Your Friend @Joe tweets : “Just checked out a library book”
Your Reply: @Joe – Wow I love reading so much!
@Joe – What book did you get?
@Joe – Can I borrow it?
@Joe – What does the cover look like?
@Joe – How many pages is the book?
@Joe – Last week I read a book.
@Joe – I wonder if it’s the same one. Hmmm
Talk Like You Really Do Know Miley Cyrus - Embrace your future fame.
It really is “who you know” not who you are. Make sure that your followers are aware of your relationship with Miley. Make sure to @ Reply her at least 5-7 times a day. Your followers will be impressed that you and Miley have such a close relationship. Do this with all other celebrities as well. Some of the best to talk to are The Jonas Brothers, Taylor Swift, McFly, iJustine, and Martha Stewart. If you’re feeling chatty you can even add chatting with Oprah to your daily routine.
Don’t Think for Yourself – Let your followers decide.
Your followers will love that you have chosen to include them in your decision making process. Why waste your own brain power on deciding life’s simple choices such as white or wheat? Ask your followers to guide you through your day - that’s why they’re following you, right? Obviously they’re interested in YOU. Let them feel important by shaping your daily activities.
Example: Having trouble deciding which lunch meat to consume? Simply tweet: Turkey or Ham? Let your followers decide each and every hard decision you may have.
